Dear all,
I am quite new both to Rhino and POV-ray.
I'd like to see if I could convert Rhinolator (for Rhinoceros) script
programs into the
POV-ray program, which generates an interpolated curve similar to a
greek letter, ohmega.
From this line, I generate sweep_1_rail which has circular cross-section
( Is this some sort of spline function in POV?).
I wish I could use a sphere for the sweeping instead of the circle.
However, this is the only method I know for the Rhinoceros programming.
One of the reason for trying to convert them is that the size of the
final 'smoothed_triangle' data are
quite big(somewhere around 50Mbyte when I duplicated the original
ohmega-like lines) and time-consuming.
The other reason is that I would like to use either the
sphere-sweeping_Catmull_Rom_Spline function of the Superpatch or the
Blob function following the interpolated curve.
From this I would like to make a semi-transparent solid wavy object.
I am attaching some part of my Rhinolator script, which describes the
curve part by part.
Thanks in advance,
Jong
